    Summary

    The silvery glint of a blade was all Xie Lian saw before the unmistakable cold bite of metal pressed against his throat. Not again, he thought, slowly turning towards the hilt and the pale hand holding it. As he moved, the blade shifted almost imperceptibly, easing its vice just a breath as if allowing him to turn without cutting through flesh.

    The tinge of surprise he felt was quickly replaced by a rush of stupor when he lay eyes on the man who held the weapon tight in his grip. The Ghost King’s appearance truly was as formidable as they said.

     

    Or

    The opening of Mount Tong'lu leaves powerful ghosts incapacitated for months before and after the Arousal of Ghosts. The mount has opened and closed, Xie Lian has ascended, discovered Jun Wu's lies and defeated him but Hua Cheng has yet to meet his god again.

    Now serving as the new Heavenly Emperor Xie Lian finds himself at the gates of Ghost City on a mission to defeat the weakened Calamity.

    When confronted with the unexpected reasons behind the attack Hua Cheng's faith wavers for the first time in centuries and his undying devotion clashes with an undeniable, guilty sense of betrayal.

    Summary

    The quiet sound of the opening door caused Hua Cheng to look over as another fresh breeze of air brushed past the red curtains, causing the golden chains to tingle slightly. A young man stepped inside, his long, brown hair following him like a coat made of silk, framing an ethereal, pale face so beautiful it punched the air out of Hua Cheng’s lungs. 

    His eyes met amber ones and suddenly, the time stood still. 

    „Welcome.“ He Xuan said flatly, oblivious to the stupor his friend found himself in. 

    „Good evening.“ The man smiled, with a voice as gentle as the setting sun behind him as his warm gaze shifted between Hua Cheng and He Xuan. „I have a reservation at 7, my name is Xie Lian.“

    -----

    Hua Cheng expected nothing of his late shift on a Saturday evening, least of all to meet Xie Lian, who came to his restaurant for a date.

    But who would have thought that said date would never show up?
    And who would have thought Hua Cheng would swiftly take a seat himself?

    Summary

    After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.

    “Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.

    Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”

    “I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

     

    *:・゚✧*:・゚

    Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. His tether. His reason for remaining in the world. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.

    Summary

    The song must have been about halfway through when he felt a soft touch on his head and turned to see Hua Cheng’s free hand gently caressing his hair.

    With a small sigh, the ghost took a strand between his fingers and played with it, rolling its ends over the red threaded finger. The white band that kept a portion of Xie Lian’s hair tied in the back was brought forward by the delicate movements and it too got entangled in the other’s hand. As Hua Cheng saw the white band snaking through his fingers his eye creased with longing.

    When he spoke it was an almost inaudible whisper. “You really look like…”

    or

    After his third ascension Xie Lian is sent on a mission in Ghost City, by the end of the night he finds himself on the dancefloor of a masked celebration caught in the embrace of a very lonely-looking Ghost King. In the effort to keep his mission going, things get unexpectedly steamy but when Xie Lian’s identity is brusquely revealed it is met with nothing short of anguish by Crimson Rain Sought Flower.
